The Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation Management Engineering may not be suitable for individuals who do not have certain expectations and interests. Due to the nature of this program, it may have disadvantages and limitations for some students.
First, this program offers an intensive technical and engineering-oriented education. If a student is not interested in or struggles with engineering and technical subjects, the technical aspect of the program may be challenging for them. It requires an intense focus on basic sciences such as mathematics and physics, as well as subjects such as ship structure and machinery systems. Therefore, the program may not be suitable for students who have no interest or aptitude in these areas.
Secondly, this program includes business and management courses specific to the maritime industry. For students who are not interested in business and management subjects or who do not aim to pursue a career in these fields, these courses may create a lack of interest and motivation. For individuals who do not want to work in managerial positions in the maritime industry or do not have a particular passion for this field, the business aspect of this program may be too much.
Thirdly, the maritime sector often requires an international working environment, which may involve extensive travel and flexible working hours. This program may not be suitable for individuals who would find it difficult to adapt to this type of working environment or who prefer a more fixed and routine working life.
Finally, the practical training and internship requirements of this program give students practical experience in the maritime industry. However, such practical experiences and internships may not be attractive for everyone. Especially for students who do not have a particular interest in the maritime industry or do not want to work in this field, the hands-on aspect of this program may seem unnecessary or tiring.
For these reasons, the Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation Management Engineering may not be suitable for individuals who have no interest in technical and engineering subjects, who are not interested in managerial positions in the maritime industry, who will have difficulty adapting to an international and changing work environment, or who prefer a more stable working life. This program appeals to students with specific interests and career goals and may not be challenging or suitable for individuals who do not meet these goals.
